Lol yeah. I've seen pictures of it dumped on its arse. Looks tough.
Static is hard to drive. Took me a while to learn how to get on and off high areas without popping out my guards lol.
And parking on the opposite end of shopping centres cause car will get stuck on some speed humps.
My whole frame is scratched because the road is so uneven here. I'll take pictures next time its on a hoist. Nasty...
My front tow hook in completely bent. Car cant be towed from the front anymore.

But its got its ups aswell. All the attention and random people coming up to talk to you.
Love going up driveways on 3 wheels! Im trying to take a good picture on 3 wheels. cant get the right angle

only problem now, is my damaged front bumper.. the passenger side next to the wheel, the clips have been snapped off, so after a long drive on bumpy roads, the side gets loose and sticks out, exposing all the car's insides Lol. not sure how to repair, without replacing it with a new RR front bumper, or finding a stock front bumper (no idea where from)... =[

I can't process what you mean by clips on the passenger side bumper because it's held on with one screw and the bumper cover clips onto the black bracket thing. Unless you're referring to the thread holes on the bumper that attach to the black bracket. If so, sikaflex and call it a day. :P
My father ripped my bumper off reversing out of the driveway and turning too early and collected the fence. Bumper came off... more like ripped off actually and the only damage was a slightly cracked screw thread hole on the bumper... basically just slapped it back on and re-screwed and replaced any broken black clips (fair few) and its been good for 3 years now :D

These wheels look sweet with the Modulo kit... I think they might be Accord Euro wheels in gunmetal?

Just a thought of getting Work Emotion CR-Kai's but considering I spent in excess of $6000 on the car within 8 months, I think I'll take a little break from new wheels and invest in buying a new bike...

Yeah, that 1 screw that screws in the bumper, is useless, as the clip that the screw goes through has snapped off, so doesn't screw anything! How do you replace that clip?!?! That's what I need to know! haha

Did you buy it from a guy in Melbourne?
I used to have Gunmetal Accord Euro (Powder Coated) Wheels and apparently they were the only one in Australia.
Same Center caps aswell...

Bumper repair places can fix broken bumper threads, as in mould a new thread as well. Maybe a few hundred dollars but they come to you sort of thing.

But would suggest to DIY the coils yourself to save money

anyone had their guards rolled? Can you still remove the inner rubber lining once the lip has been pushed back?
Any recommendations in Melb who does it the right way? (E.g. uses a heat gun, rolls it in layers so the paint don't crack etc).

Thanks

Hi guys,

I'm purchasing the mugen RR kit,

Just wondering, the seller who is highly reputable, seems to be very adamant that I pay via Bank deposit, instead of Paypal..

Is there a reason he would want this?

Thanks.

EDIT:

I got a response

"Can you pay via Bank? Otherwise PP is ok. Just that our cost increased 3% over the past 3 weeks as the USD/AUD rate dropped again."

I'd get it from mars performance, a few others on here have got it from there as well.

If you pay through bank deposit you have no "insurance" or "coverage" per-say.

If you pay through paypal, you have their "guarantee" and "insurance" to cover yourself.

If they're operating in Australia the whole fee with conversion they're describing shouldn't technically be an issue, but I do know paypal does take a bit of interest when you're using it as a business.

In terms of painting.

Main body paint, is sparkle grey.

The triangles at front I'll have it as nighthawk black, same as the front grille.
Rear lip, the diffuser section will be matte black.

I'm looking for a Black Honda badge for the front, but they all seem to be 3M double sides tape, anyone know where to get a Honda badge that has screws as well?
07-01-2014, 11:29 PM
kikimushroom

But the link you gave us got two exhaust holes at the back S:, pretty sure they also sell single exhaust ones.
As for the badges, pretty sure double sided tape is more than enough, highly doubt it would come off anyways. I dont think they have ones with screws cause maybe they're not genuine or something
08-01-2014, 12:31 AM
jprak

just go off OTRmotorsports

they sell both single and dual exhaust RR lips

as for paying via bank deposit. i kept the receipt and took a pic of it to say i made payment and they confirmed.

quality and fitment, good fitment just need a heat gun maybe depending but overall still good

I bought my RR kit from EuroDivision. Came within a week and Im in WA.

Fitment was good and its all PPU.

But they dont offer a single exhaust rear. If I had the choice, Id do single exhaust too.
